I'm having trouble figuring out how to get user input in one of my basic batch files, I've looked at various sites and still don't understand, could someone please explain if you have the time. I really want to learn.l8rnueone

What type of user input did you want to put into the file? I dont think its a strong enough language to handle variables. The user input in rage's script is in the form of the user making a choice, either 1,2,3,or 4. All other input has to be taken from files or input devices I think I never got to heavy into batch scripting...

Batch programming has plenty of variables. Environment variables. I rely on them heavily in certain tasks. Also, you don't have to make a numerical choice from 1 to 5. You can make it a yes/no/cancel choice using the y/n/c characters. Any character you want can be the input.

People has made batch viruses before. It is not as weak as you may think.

I'll let you in on a little secret. I don't get pissed. I've been pissed all of 3 times on this board. once at TRON, a second time at IceDog, and a 3rd time at Caffeine - which comparitively didn't last nearly as long. Of those three, only TRON put me into a true RAGE. It's where I got my name after all.

Everything else is just a moments irritation which I forget about in 5 minutes.

I seem to remember a 'phukedklown' somewhere, but I've forgotten all about him. IceDog pissed me off cause of his actions toward me. Caffeine pissed me off with his blind arrogance. TRON pissed me off with a combonation of both.

You've got the right stuff there Gizmo, I agree, you've displayed both to Learner. But mostly, you're not arrogant, it's just conceit like I have. And mostly you don't smack people around unless they deserve it. It's a good thing, don't change.
